Back when I was a 13 year old kid my grandparents took me over to see my great uncle. He was to my young eyes very ancient. He lived in a very small house and he was preparing to shave. He pulled out an old straight razor and a shaving kit. He lathered up his face, hit the razor on an old strop and then just attacked his face. I was terrified. I expected to see gushing blood everywhere. His hand was just moving at a rapid pace like he was trying to finish in record time. In no time he was done and he wiped of his face and did not have one nick.
I was amazed. He had obviously done that countless times and was a master.
I shave my cheeks and under my beard once a week with a 20 year old triple bladed razor. I change blades about once per year. I don't even remember what brand it is. I can't help you with a straight razor question. Anytime I think of a straight razor I think of old Uncle Vic.
